A man with a bicycle was hit and killed by an Amtrak train Monday south of Orange Park, authorities said.

The adult victim was probably carrying the bicycle and was walking between the rails when he was struck just before 11 a.m., said Sgt. Glenn Zier of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. Zier said the train was traveling out of a curve and it was possible the victim did not hear it coming.

The accident occurred in the 4400 block of Cedar Road in Clay County’s Lakeside area. A bicycle was found at the scene.

The southbound Silver Meteor was traveling from New York to Miami and had 249 people on board, according to Amtrak spokesman Steve Kulm. It was going about 64 mph.

He said the train was allowed to resume its trip after about four hours.

A Fernandina Beach High School teacher and yearbook adviser confronted by his wife and police about a sexual relationship with a senior student is now jailed.

Monday the Fernandina Beach police charged Daniel Gregory Wright, 32, of Flora Parke Boulveard with a sex offense involving a minor. Wright has taught TV production and digital design at the school for the past two years and previously instructed at Hilliard High, according to Chief Jim Hurley.

In April a parent reported his children were hearing rumors about a relationship between Wright and the student, the arrest report said. They both adamantly denied it, and police found no other supporting evidence.

But last week the wife and her sister, also a teacher at the school, came to police with new information. The sister said a former student’s mother advised her she had seen Wright and the student together in his vehicle, the arrest report said. So the wife questioned Wright, who said his involvement was after the girl turned 18.

The girl told police the first encounter was in February and another in April at her house, both when she was 17, the arrest report said. She said the relationship continued after graduation and 18th birthday. Further questioning of Wright determined his charge.

A Flagler County man whose former girlfriend’s life was threatened was arrested after he was found armed with a rifle about a mile from her home in St. Johns County Sunday.

Andrew Dane Dandurand, 24, of Palm Coast has been charged with aggravated stalking after he tried to flee deputies and drove down an embankment, ran a red light and was traveling south in the northbound lanes of U.S. 1 until he was forced off the road, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators said he was armed with a loaded assault-style rifle apparently stolen in Flagler County.

Investigators in Flagler County were told the lives of the woman and her current boyfriend were threatened and that Dandurand also would kill himself. The former girlfriend, whose name was not released, was aware of the threats but had not been harmed Sunday afternoon.

After Dandurand was apprehended, he was booked into the St. Johns County jail without bail. He also was charged with felony fleeing, the Sheriff’s Office said.

St. Johns County authorities are on the lookout for two women suspected of stabbing a man in the back and cutting his face Sunday night, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies had responded to the victim’s home on Herbert Street earlier in a landlord-tenant dispute where deputies advised both sides the proper process for eviction. They were called back a short time later for another disturbance and were told the tenant had left.

The Sheriff’s Office said he was located in the 200 block of South Ponce de Leon Boulevard and said he was attacked by two women soon after police left the home.

The women had no connection to the earlier dispute, sheriff’s spokesman Kevin Kelshaw said.
